Divinity Rising: Hail to the King, Baby

I appreciate that so greatly and know that the blessings will be returned ten fold to you in the coming year for all the love you have shared with me. Thank you so much for helping me to live my dream. Do not hesitate to let me know how I can further empower yours.

All Part of the Show:

From an upcoming issue of Diaries of a Godling: "...Until I came to a battle most fierce. There is no opponent more dangerous than a lover. For a blade forged from desire slices with the heat of passion and before you know it, you find life flowing forth from within."

Never forget the wisdoms of the multiverses are shared in stories. With that in mind, I'd like to take you to a time and place dear to my heart - Camelot. There are different versions on the tale of King Arthur and Excalibur. Have you heard the story of the sword in the stone? Whosoever pulleth the sword from the stone is the rightful heir to the throne. This is my own version of the Excalibur tale.

Life is a lover extraordinaire, nourishing us with all we need, but sometimes as we grow, we take in many poisons, and we turn our back on listening to her. We find that our hearts have turned to stone. We've hardened our hearts to her, and before long we find ourselves lost.

We cry out to her, asking her to lead us towards our desires, so life responds and shoves the double edged sword of truth into into the stone our heart has become. We are then faced with a dilemma. Do we remove the sword and claim our destiny? To do so would mean to allow your life to flow out into the world around you.... Death sounds scary. Do you leave the sword where it is and wander forever wounded?

It is only by removing the sword, that you have your own blade to wield, and can pour yourself into your own kingdom where you are established as rightful heir. As you make the decision to 'give up' your life, you are allowing your life to flow into the world around you where the truest you can be seen. When you know the truest you, you know the kingdom that is rightfully yours.

Stand up beautiful heirs and heiress. Claim your divine birthright. Will you brave the pain to do so? Surely your legend will go on beyond King Arthur and Excalibur.

Spirits in the Inkwell:

(Snippets from journals )

You always said I had to learn the hard way..and you were right..but now I not only have knowledge..I have understanding..and turns out...that's what I've always hungered for.

It really strikes me that we should try thanking those who are experiencing rougher times and lift them up and praise them for they carry the things we are unwilling to....

To find real healing, sometimes we have to go through one hell of a war.

Fears keep us from seeing what we need and keep us from just going and getting it.

Our voices that we lift up will break down the walls...as we shake the foundations of our heart, we shake the foundations of the world.

Conflicting information...Humans are like machines and we have trouble processing conflicting information...it must be resolved..right now, our worlds are in a state of conflicting information...until a new set of information is adopted, things will be choppy

Seems that a lot of the most awesome things, people, and acts of kindness are born out of desperation

Open me and allow me to give and receive freely - for that is the key to power!

As an individual, you are a set of structures, held beliefs, etc...for that individual to die, those structures are broken down and something new is created.

Louisville Speak Easy Grows Exponentially!

We've seen a Huge BOOM in attendance at the Louisville Speak Easy and are so happy to welcome so many new faces to the family! There's something for everyone! It's our own gypsie courtyard, a hidden magical forest in the midst of old Louisville.

Every Thursday at 8 pm is an open mic/arts and entertainment networking event in one room and an awesome social gathering in the bar/on the patio. It's at Carly Rae's on the corner of First and Oak st! $2.50 Margaritas or win the blind pig and get five drinks for a dollar each. It's a beautiful spot, with the perfect environment for a Speak Easy. Once a month, we host a showcase with local art, a featured poet, and a featured music act followed by open stage. The awesome news is that the featured artist, poet AND musician will be paid a small stipend! HURRAH! One giant leap for the up and comers! The featured artists, etc will be chosen from those that attend the open mic throughout the month.
